You say that you cannot win a great round of the championship, but that you can definitely lose it. We have seen this principle play many times over the years, but on Thursday it was challenged unexpectedly.
Linn Grant began the US Women’s Open. Uu. With the wave in the afternoon and did not waste the time in the red figures. Grant left Birdie, Birdie, Birdie through the first three holes. It is not much.
The conditions can change in the hills on Friday, so accumulating the greatest beginning as this point is essential for players with the weekend that will still arrive. Grant presented as a solid beginning as possible before “cooling” with a pair in number 4.
We will see if she can maintain that form as the tournament continues to develop.
Linn Grant made a statement early in the opening round of the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, carding three consecutive birdies to kick off her campaign at Lancaster Country Club. The Swedish star wasted no time finding her rhythm, showing precision with her irons and confidence on the greens.
Starting on the front nine, Grant birdied holes 1 through 3 in clinical fashion, setting the tone for what could be a breakout performance. Her hot start places her among the early leaders and sends a clear message: she’s here to contend.
With tough conditions and a deep field, momentum is key—and Grant has it. As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on whether she can ride this early surge into the weekend and challenge for her first major title.
